Risk assessments for any special effects in the show (or your risk management procedures)

Detailed production or technical schedules, with staffing levels required from the house

Line schedule or hanging plot, including all weights (see Appendix C for a blank hanging plot)

WORKING PRACTICES AND SAFETY ONSTAGE Onstage Briefing and Set Induction Any show containing elements of construction should include a preliminary briefing at the start of the load-in for all venue and touring staff. This practice is in accordance with CDM 2015 Regulations and should be scheduled in advance. Furthermore, any set which poses difficulties for backstage access and safe movement in show conditions will require a set induction or briefing session for the show crew prior to the first dress rehearsal. Length of shift / overnight breaks Please note that in accordance with Working Time Regulations 1998, an 11 hour break between working shifts must be scheduled for all members of staff. Split shifts can be scheduled to accommodate longer hours for the production onstage, but the 11 hour break should not be infringed for any individual member of staff. Suitable meal breaks must also be scheduled, for the safe working and the welfare of all staff the maximum shift worked without a break is 5.5 hours. This will also include get-outs. If in doubt as regards any aspect of the working schedule or to discuss suitable breaks when scheduling, please contact the Technical Manager. All schedules must be agreed in advance. Noise levels Please note that in accordance with the Noise at Work Regulations 1989, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, and for the benefit and care of all staff and members of the public, Sadler’s Wells Trust reserves the right to monitor and if necessary limit the sound levels for any given performance.

Tallescope use (access equipment) The Peacock Theatre uses a Tallescope for focusing lights and other access requirements. Under current guidelines the Tallescope can now be moved whilst personnel are in the basket at the top. This process involves 4 crew, 1 in the basket, 2 at the base guiding the tallescope, and 1 supervisor. A member of the Peacock technical staff must be present at all times the tallescope is used. Please bear this in mind when setting schedules and crewing levels. The person in the basket must wear a harness to facilitate an emergency rescue if required. Loading and Unloading Guidelines Our Code of Practice for loading and unloading is included in this document (Appendix A). It is the responsibility of the visiting company to ensure that all staff are made aware of this Code of Practice and that all relevant activities are carried out in accordance with the Code. Sustainability and Waste In accordance with our Sustainability Policy we try wherever possible to reduce our energy consumption, reduce the production of waste at source, and recycle any remaining waste. To this end we provide a water cooler by the side of stage, and we do not supplied water in plastic bottles. We would also encourage visiting companies to separate their waste in all offices and dressing rooms using the bins provided, and to switch off lights when leaving rooms unoccupied.
